Picked up my new (used) truck from the Chev dealership. They replaced the DEF tank as a warranty item. GM appears to be having DEF tank issues on the Duramax trucks.

May be going to look at an 06 Sierra 2500 with an LBZ on Saturday. It's got higher mileage (246k) but if it runs and shifts good, no weird noises, I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on it. Based on the pics online the interior is super clean, never seen a truck with that mileage have such a clean interior

Nice - I hear that's the last of the good diesels right there.

It's right before all the emissions crap went onto the engines, but it still has EGR, nothing a EGR delete kit can't solve lol

Did they ask "MSgt why do you drive a bucket"?

After a bunch of research and keeping a budget in mind, I ordered a MBRP single side cat back this morning. I hope the sound is on par with the 100 videos I have watched on youtube.

Got the mower back from a buddy from work and promptly put it to use to cut the grass this afternoon. Unreal cutting the grass this early in the midwest.

Not even April and I have mowed 3x

Replaced the 6 Generals with Michelin defenders 245/70r17s.

 

When you're a fatty and they want to make sure their jacks hold lol. 3 ton jacks should have been fine. For some reason it's always funny to me to see my truck up on jacks and tires off.

Purdy new tires.

Haven't lightened their load if wheel weights in a while so I now have 6ish 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights and trash for traction control. Hope I don't have to help someone move anytime soon as the storage bin I use for wheel weights is already over filled. Guess I need to get off my butt and do some casting.

mowed the yard 3 times this year or this month? I'll probably have to start mowing every week again here quite soon.

Nah, they new I had gotten a "new" truck before they left. Heck most of them had to drive by where I had my accident to get to work. Plus the "bucket" vs walking across the base was a no brainer.

Both started mowing in March and have done it three times. It's twice a week for me :( otherwise it gets out of hand

I found it... Bought my new home today. The garage is a little smaller then I was looking for, but the price and property was hard to pass up. Plenty of room to expand the garage...

 

It is an oversized 1.5 car garage and plenty big enough for the Coronet...

 

Congrats. I have been looking at houses also, but don't plan on buying anytime soon. The market in my area is getting bizarre, and I look to be in one of the pockets in my area where houses seem to be getting overpriced. It got me looking around and thinking about selling.

 

I found one builder that is building identical size houses 6 miles apart. The difference in price between that 6 miles is nearly 40 or 50k!

Same town, same county, same school district. #Idunno

Want to see bizarre, you ought to see MA real estate. Absolutely ridiculous pricing.

 

 

 

We are at least a good month away from mowing. Hit 65° today ... and forecast says it's going to snow, and be 19° one morning next week. Can't get a break up here. :nonod: Today was only the 3rd day all year to break 60°.

 

 

 

People sure are spending their money again though. Sold my brother's DR350 dual sport, & his Corsa muffler for the Duramax in one day, then sold a '90 RT100 today in 4 hours, plus sold the 4 Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenzas off my mags, sold 11 K&N filters on eBay, and a few other odds and ends. People finally have money again up here after this mild winter with cheap oil prices.

 

Praying the decent economy continues ...

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
